4️⃣ Buy Essential Insurance (Non-Negotiable)
Every woman must have:
✔️ Health Insurance
✔️ Term Life Insurance (if you support family)

These give poor returns.

80C → PPF, ELSS SIP, life insurance
80D → health insurance
80CCD(1B) → NPS additional ₹50,000

Avoid last-minute rush; save big legally.
7️⃣ Build Multiple Income Streams
Women excel at:
Freelancing
Teaching
Digital services

One extra income = faster independence.
8️⃣ Avoid These Money Mistakes (Common Among Women)

No emergency fund
Not investing early
Overspending for family
No health insurance
Keeping savings in low-interest accounts
Not talking openly about money
9️⃣ Retirement Planning — Start Now

Start NOW — even if it’s just ₹1,000/month.

Add nominee in all bank/fund accounts
